It's almost as if legacy recipes don't exist, nor are very important to people, nor have working knowledge built around these units.

And? Legacy units can be converted.

I've got cookbooks that date back to the 17th century. Lots of recipes from the 19th century. And old family recipes too. Doesn't mean I won't use metric and weights when I create new recipes, write recipes down, etc... And all my professional cookbooks are metric and by weight.

While this is true and adds effort, it is relatively easy to convert them too.
